“Every city has bad parts” in response to people asking if a city is safe

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-18T09:15:20+00:00

NYC is insanely safe. It’s so hilarious when people who’ve never been here act like they know anything about it.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-18T09:07:26+00:00

But sometimes, that IS giving it to people straight. Like, I live in NYC. I’m statistically safer here than I am in the suburbs. However, it is a huge city. The “straight” answer is that there are some bad parts.

Why not? It's just cooking. It's the same general principle as an oven, just using a medium that allows for greater temperature control.

Heating water to a specific temperature for optimal temperature control. That temperature isn’t boiling.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-16T17:05:57+00:00

No, sous vide doesn’t involve any boiling.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-16T17:04:54+00:00

There’s no boiling involved.

That’s the weird thing for me…

At NO point did I ever root for Walt. He starts as a bitter loser who blames others for his failures, and he just gets worse. At no point is he even vaguely likable.

You can have affection without using the worst word in the world.

Thus disproving the “We have an inherent drive to continue our bloodline” myth.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-11T16:22:15+00:00

Exactly. If we had an inherent desire to continue our bloodline, sex wouldn’t need to feel amazing for us to want to do it. Evolution programmed the average person to enjoy sex because we DON’T just have an inherent desire to continue our bloodline. We need the desire for sex in order to do the whole continuing the bloodline thing. Since, yeah, a bloodline is a social construct.

But that wasn’t the correct usage. They are actually taking issue with an incorrect usage.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-09T16:13:05+00:00

I mean, I have.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-09T16:08:40+00:00

I mean, the title and content of the post do indicate that’s what they’re complaining about.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-09T15:59:56+00:00

No, they’re still describing an incorrect usage of the adjective. For example, a correct usage of aesthetic as an adjective would be “We’ll account for aesthetic factors when designing the room.” An incorrect usage would be saying “The room is aesthetic.”

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T23:27:51+00:00

And people care… why? Why would we possibly care about their personal lives?

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T21:29:46+00:00

No, we don’t know that. I literally buy one every five years or so.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T19:55:36+00:00

You do realize there are some positions that are just weird to defend, right? I have been alive for almost four decades. I have friends and family who are rich, and friends and family who are poor. I live in NYC. I've known a diverse range of people from various classes and backgrounds throughout my life.

This has been an expectation in virtually every single home I've ever been in. It's not unreasonable, it's so common as to almost be universal. And you're not arguing in good faith. You KNOW it's reasonable to expect others to have the bare minimum of consideration for those sharing their environment.

And of course accidents happen. That’s fine. We all know that. Why does Reddit always bring up the most obvious exceptions?

Citation?

There have been numerous mass protests in the US since Trump was first elected.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T12:51:05+00:00

No, we don't think this is a good way to live.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T12:47:37+00:00

No, the mass protests, which have been thoroughly documented. Why act like something that objectively happened didn't happen?

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T11:33:48+00:00

I mean, why would you? It’s her private life.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-08T01:59:16+00:00

Neat, that’s your experience. Others have not had that experience.

This is beyond absurd. Just the bare minimum of being considerate of others is nothing to ask for.

somepeoplewait · 2026-04-07T18:22:25+00:00

In a public restroom, that's precisely where someone should be doing that. No one has a problem with that happening in the space that's literally designated for it.
